I was flying with a young pilot , we were told to hold at Magog , the FO inserted the appropriate holding pattern into the FMC , the only problem was the outbound leg took us through a large CB clearly visible on the ND . I waited a while to see if he was actually aware of the CB . Nope he was very happy to hold as published flying through the CB . I had to intervene .
‘this is not about Asian vs European, it’s about experience vs inexperience .
on long haul flights with minimal yearly sectors it takes years to gain the necessary experience to sit in the left seat , now add a new captain with a very new FO and you have a less than ideal situation
